Is Spock Cesc Fabregas?
Advantages: Big screen treat
Disadvantages: Not for DVD
...player, also the case with Star Trek, and unless you have a huge TV or Blue-Ray then the modern action movie suffers in translation. Star Trek is quite simply one of those big budget movies you have to see at the cinema to get any real buzz from it, director JJ Abrahams all about movies that enjoy using the entire screen space. It's all very frustrating wandering what you can't see in the top left hand corner of your wide-screen DVD screen that the ...

Star Trek But Not as We Know It - Could it be better!?
Advantages: Up to date, story, excellent acting and special effects.
Disadvantages: None that I can think of.
...you are a fan of Star Trek, then you would love this latest film from Director J.J. Abrams, also responsible for television series such as Alias and Lost and feature films such as Mission Impossible III. This film takes us all the way back to the beginning, back to the birth of Captain T. Kirk [Chris Pine] in an escape pod from the USS Kelvin during a ferocious battle in which his father, George Kirk, like all true captains sacrifices his life with ...
...Pike persuades him to join Star Fleet and do something with his life. The film then jumps to the planet Vulcan where we witness the early life of Spock, excellently played by Zachary Quinto - also known for his part as Silar in the television series, Heroes. The story shows Spock wrestling with his half-human side, trying to subdue it by throwing himself into his studies on Vulcan logic. Because of his half-humanness, he gets taunted and bullied ...

Save the Cheerleader
Advantages: Great CGI, action, very realistic, well evolved
Disadvantages: Weak story compared to other two seasons.
Heroes is the hit US TV show, which has been broadcast on the BBC for the past year or so. Currently in it’s third season, the show features a group of individuals who, due to a change in their DNA, have extraordinary powers, from flying, telekinesis, super strength and other common ones, to some more unique, such as being able to create vortexes! I have been an avid fan of the show ever since I caught a glimpse of the first series, something like ...
...I imagine that in HD heroes would be AMAZING!! On each DVD, there is an audio commentary available for each episode, which is done by the various different actors and actresses in the series, as well as the directors, producer etc, and some with Tim Kring- the creator. Bonus Features People who buy boxsets for TV series such as this, tend to be the hardcore fans, who could watch it over and over again, which makes having Bonus Features an important ...

Heroes series1
Advantages: Fast action original series
Disadvantages: none
Heroes hit our screens in a shot of fast action and special effects, telling about a group of normal people who have developed special powers its like a modern day marvel comic in real life.With a very scary villan and most o the normal people hating them this colletion of great charecters battle there way through to prevent the city being blown up.
The super powers range from flying to being able to heal themselves and some scenes are very graphic ...
...a much longer indepth plot.
Heroes 1 is avalible as a complete box set or 2 different part boxsets,in my opinion this commplete box set is better value for money and is avalible on amazon starting around £21.99 its rated as a 15 and there are some gory scenes ,this boxset is well worth the money and i highly recommend it,its a refreshing new series thats truley compelling to watch. ...
